I really hope there is either a major Gandhi twist gag reveal...or at least a throwaway joke, never to be heard of again.

For those who don't know, India protested MTV for casting Gandhi in their TV series, prompting MTV to kill the show.

not since twin peaks has an accidental 20 year gap worked in a show's favor

For people too young for this show. The show was being animated and voiced on a weekly basis with aggressive timelines for getting out each episode. The original show was supposed to be 24 episodes to a season but MTV decided to cancel it at Episode 13. So the final episode involved everyone being frozen with a message basically begging people to help them get the show uncancelled..... which it never did.

The show became super popular with the torrent generation and yeah... it really does look like they're targeting millennials badly on HBO Max.

Twin Peaks had some rather bizarre plot stuff that essentially said the story will pickup in 25 years and then “froze“ some of its cast. By making a sequel 25 years later they were able to pay off what they had setup, as if it were always planned that way for season three. It sounds like the new Clone High original characters have been frozen all twenty years, about enough time to grow a new generation of clone teen characters. It pays off the cliffhanger of them getting frozen, like the plan was always to wait twenty years for season two. Both shows had in-universe explanations already built into their very long delays between seasons

Yeah Teletoon in Canada aired all of them, albeit out of order with a holiday episode in April a month after they aired the finale in March... which itself was after a month break. MTV only aired 8 of the 13 episodes originally.

Is it just me or does the character designs for the new characters seem off? Like they aren't from the same show.

They're certainly much more vibrantly colored, which I have to assume is a deliberate design choice. If the new characters are clones that were created in the past ~15 years, it makes sense that they would have a different fashion style than the clones who were around in the early 2000s. Them having a new batch and old batch of clones together could definitely make for some interesting storylines if that's the route they're going.

Back when it aired, India lost its shit and threatened MTV for including the character.

MTV factored that into the decision to cancel it, even after Phil Lord and Christopher Miller offered to drop the character in season 2 (or reveal that he was actually a clone of Gary Coleman, not Gandhi)

I'll watch cause it was a pretty funny crude stupid premise. But geeze they gotta know that the ghandi parts were probably the most funny.

G spot rocks the g spot, the solid ghandi dancers, him having ADD.

Probably considered low brow but funny.

i will probably watch this regardless but i really hope that first episode was just a misstep and the rest of the season is good. it just didn’t feel right to me, maybe it was the lack of gandhi or i wasn’t feeling the new characters but it just didn’t land a lot

Chris Miller said during the panel yesterday that the second season was the perfect opportunity to fix the design flaws he didn't like him the first season. Like Joan's head.

Another cartoon that the art looks completely shit. At least every single character doesn’t have the same face like other American animated shows.

I really hope this happens with The Expanse. For those who don't know, the show ends at the end of book 6. Between book 6 and 7 is a 30 year gap but still involves the same characters since human lifespans are about double what they are now.

It'd be awesome to see the show pick up again in like 15 years and do the last 3 books.

If they leave it at that then clearly the show will be complete garbage, he was the best part of the entire show. Plus if him being Gandhi's clone offended people they could have easily just said "Scudworth fucked up he's not Gandhi he's some random other guy that vaguely resembles Gandhi".

Was it announced that Christa Miller was replaced as Cleo? That was my take away from this article. Wonder if it’s a Jenny Slate/Big Mouth scenario
